New to posting...

Woke this morning to every body part me screaming at me. Yesterday I ran 7 mile tempo run with the middle miles at 7:24 pace...felt great pretty muthrough the the entire run. I then did a half hour of weight traning and I be.ieve this is what did me in. I have found lately that I am waking up so tired and sore that the thought of running is just horrible , most days I can get through it but today I am taking a unplanne rest day. With my right calf tight and sore and the rest of me tired I think maybe using my spin Bike this afternoon while my daughter naps might be a betper choice or maybe a very easy run with her in the stroller later this afternoon if the modo strikes but in the mood I am in now I don't believe that will be happening

I'm new to posting too, but welcome! Sounds like you might need to find some time to sleep more. Just the other night I slept for 9 hours which is extremely unusual for me. But training can take a lot out of ya maybe you just need more sleep.

Hi! I feel your pain (really!), i've committed to trying to do more (ok- any) strength training twice a week. I'm so stinking sore and now I'm stressed about how much energy it's taking out of my runs. We will work through this but I agree with the other ommenters- more sleep is a must! Maybe not skipped workouts, but maybe an earlier bed time.
